Healthy snacking with delicious coffee blondies

The previous blondies on the blog were so much appreciated by you guys (I totally agree :-p) which inspired me to prepare another blondies recipe with more depth and a touch of coffee. And believe me: this delicious coffee blondie recipe is so yummy! I really like coffee and unfortunatley I don’t come across many baked goods in which coffee is used.

That’s why I thought: why not combine two of my favorites? Normally blondies are high in sugar and fats but for this recipe I managed to make it both low in carbs and nutritious. These chickpea blondies are a fun way to enjoy a healthier version of the classics. On top of that, the blondies rich in proteins and fibers. Perfect as a snack or after a good work-out.

You can find me on the couch with a delicious and healthy coffee blondie, what about you?
